DELETE CASCADE posted:here's some old neglected jade plants. can these be saved? are they worth saving, or should we just get new plants? I've had success simply cutting them way back (by half on the plants you've got there) when there's a bit of dry weather, and they'll eventually sprout leaflets from around the dried cuts. I'd also use all the cut off leaves and branches to propagate new plants. Ymmv, but jade really is one of those plants you can be quite brutal with and it will eventually come back as long as it wasn't totally dead to begin with.

Woodpile posted:Customer wants me to spread 18" of wood chip mulch over her entire 1/2 acre yard. Apparently this is permaculture. GOOD IDEA OR GREATEST IDEA? A someone who teaches permaculture design, this is so completely wrong it's laughable. Unfortunately there is no shortage of all-or-nothing kooks, base charlatans, or rich hippy tryhards in the permaculture world. To the point where many people are turned away from what are actually very sensible and practical principles, especially in a suburban garden setting.

Simply put, permaculture is a design approach for sustainable living and gardening, integrating principles from ecology, agriculture, and design. It aims to create harmonious relationships between humans and nature, emphasizing principles like observation, diversity, and minimal waste. Permaculture systems strive to mimic natural ecosystems, promoting resilience, biodiversity, and self-sufficiency.
